  1. I'm kind of afraid I'm going to lose a new friend?

    NurseYoshi replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd like to join! So during my nursing program, I didn't do very well on most exams, especially when it came to medsurg because one teacher wrote really poor questions that made no sense (even when I...

    NurseYoshi replied to dagley's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Hi! I also live in Alabama and I've noticed our ICUs here don't have techs, but they do have secretaries. I asked some nurses about it and the secretaries double as techs, so if they need assistance...

  3. What unit do you work in?

    NurseYoshi replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    NurseYoshi replied to mstaurus2016's topic in Nursing Career

    That's what I did over the summer (I worked FT as a tech but I'm prn) and lately I've had a hard time adjusting. I just graduated and will be FT nights starting in 2 weeks. I can't seem to sleep since...

    NurseYoshi replied to RNkarlaaaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think I only felt good because of the number of SATA I had. Then I started looking up what I chose as my answers and was like "wrong. Wrong. Wrong again." And I felt so bad. Don't stress about it. I...

    NurseYoshi replied to RNkarlaaaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    One of my church friends moved to Mississippi a few years back! She wanted to do travel nursing and decided she'd be better off moving and getting a compact license. It seems like majority of my...

    NurseYoshi replied to RNkarlaaaa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finished in about an hour(ish). I had about 18 SATA, 3-4 of those put in order (drag and drop?) type questions, and I think I only had one EKG.i would get so nervous after finishing a SATA question...

  13. New CNA- wanting to work in a hospital

    NurseYoshi replied to opalbee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So I was hired as a tech (PCA, CNA, whatever) on my unit after I finished my medsurg clinicals on that unit. That's probably not the way you'd be able to go about that, but I'd suggest what SoCaliCNA...

    NurseYoshi replied to JLB4621's topic in Government, Military

    Yay! That's so exciting! I'm an Army kid and my mom worked closely with the vet clinic and medical clinic personnel, but she was a food inspector so I can't help you in terms of nursing, plus our most...

  17. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I haven't tried it yet. I'm scared that the email is just a part of my imagination and once I actually click on any links, everything will disappear. I already had a nightmare that NCLEX was a huge...

  20. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  21. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency Winter 2018

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It was more of a "Thank you for expressing your interest, however we cannot do that because all areas are full and we do have a waitlist." Kinda like, if it really bugs you enough to want to leave,...

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The link to send them your shots and stuff? I haven't delved into it much, but when I looked at it, it popped up fine. I do need to get my records of having all those shots though. I just got my copy...

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
